      Chinese movies, like the vast majority of Chinese moviegoers, feel like idiots and incompetence.

      What kind of audience there is what kind of director and producer, what kind of film is produced. When one day such films can be rated 9 points, Chinese films will begin to have hope.
      Someone asked me: What do you think are good movies in China?
      I would say: what is your definition of a good movie? If it's special effects, costumes, "clowns" and the like, I think there are quite a few. An estimated 99.99% are of this type. If it is about plots, characterizations, etc., maybe there are...

      Sophisticated ideas!

      Such a good film with so few comments. After watching it, I deliberately searched the Internet for reviews of this movie, which was disappointing. Most praised the natural scenery in the film, and also gave comments as "inexplicable", "general plot", "puzzling" and "normal". This film gradually gave a difficult topic, including barbarism, civilization, homeland, war, crime, and revenge. These elements are entangled, making it impossible for outsiders to analyze, and for insiders to pull away....

      More than 100 years ago, a hunt in New Zealand | tracker

      Before watching this film, there are two historical knowledge to understand. One is the war between the British and South African governments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, called the Boer War, and the other is the British in the 1860s and 1970s in New Zealand and the local indigenous people. The Maori war can be called the "King's Movement".

      1. About the Boer War. The reason why it is called the Boer War is because the government of South Africa at that time was mainly...

      a maori

      A Maori.
      The first time I saw the name Maori was about 30 years ago. When I was a child, I liked the comic strip "Children of Captain Grant", which was changed by Jules Verne's novel. That was my first contact with Verne. The content of the novel has been vaguely remembered, but I am deeply impressed by the Maori people in the novel. They wore feather headdresses, rowed canoes, were naked, had strange stripes on their faces, and, horribly, cannibalized. In the novel, they are uncivilized...

      The emergence of new civilizations is always accompanied by the demise of ancient civilizations. It is a bit of a shadow of 10,000 years of prehistory. The scenery inside is really beautiful and it feels like a...

      Better than expected. The scenery is moving, and you can grasp every clue step by step and play cats and mice. It would be better if tracking and survival were more rendered, but it was allocated to some religious and belief myths. The ending was...

    • Arjan van Diemen: They will probably find you, and shoot you.

      Kereama: If I were in your shoes, which I am

      [glancing down]

      Kereama: , I'd just worry about them finding me.

    • Arjan van Diemen: I'm not taking chances with the rain, not in this bloody country.

      Kereama: It's not going to rain. I'm a sailor. I can tell you the weather from the color of the water.

      [a sudden cloud burst starts pouring down]

    • Arjan van Diemen: During the war, me and my men would cut off the trigger fingers of the bravest British officers we captured - only the bravest, mind, the ones most worthy of respect. Do you understand that? That's what I did to people I respected.

      Kereama: Doesn't leave much hope for me then, does it?

      Arjan van Diemen: Hope kills fools like you every day.
